"I want to sing and play like it's the last chance I'll get," says the 20-time Grammy winner as he releases his new album

Lauper, a singer synonymous with Eighties pop, worked with producer Tony Brown (George Strait) to record the album in Nashville. She also enlisted some of the best voices in country and folk: Emmylou Harris sings on the title track; Jewel appears on "I Want to Be a Cowboy's Sweetheart"; and Vince Gill turns up on Conway Twitty and Loretta Lynn's cheekily titled "You're the Reason Our Kids Are Ugly."

Willie Nelson also appears, joining with Lauper for a rendition of his own early Sixties hit "Night Life."

Lauper's Detour will be released May 6th. She recently offered a sneak peek of the album during a Skyville Live performance in Nashville with Kelsea Ballerini and Ingrid Michaelson.
